This special exhibition celebrated the beauty, skill, and creativity found in fiber arts. Featured artists and artisans shared work in knitting, needle felting, repurposed clothing, and more—each piece thoughtfully crafted with care and intention. Rooted in the principles of Slow Fashion, the show offered a meaningful alternative to Fast Fashion, encouraging sustainability and mindful making in both art and everyday life.
